Meanwhile in Telmaris a few hours after [Shadow Core] has been dispatched to Fritz Forest, Zephyr and the others can be seen idling inside Gringar's tavern, having the whole place for themselves as the other hunters left since they are too scared to interact with them. While King Crow and Meiren's guilds are waiting for their turn to act while overthinking, the Master planner Zephyr is just chilling. Behind him is his ever faithful guild members, Anastasia and Hywel, also standing by patiently.
As Zephyr takes a sip of his hot cocoa, he thought to himself–
'What the hell is with this atmosphere…? Am I just overthinking, or am I feeling like they're waiting for me to say something.'
Putting the cup down, he turns his gaze towards the others which makes all of them flinch and look back at him as if waiting for a command, with the exception of his guild members as the two are just chilling with him.
